[Classweb-users] BV300 + (Hymns and hymnbooks

[Pietris, Mary Kay]

This method of using a span with an ending word that duplicates the next caption is a common occurrence in LCC, especially in P and J.  We occasionally use abbreviations of the words for the span, such as Lut or Luthera, Meth or Methodis, but that could also raise questions.  People can usually interpret these correctly, as you did.

Just a suggestion here.

Part of the class reads:
   Friends
 BV400.A1
History
 BV403.F-.L
Friends - Lutheran
 BV403.G4
German Baptist Brethren (Church of the Brethren, Dunkards)
 BV403.J45
Jehovah's Witnesses
 BV403.L5
Liberal Catholic Church
 BV410
Lutheran
 BV410.A1
History
 BV411.L-.M
Lutheran - Mennonite
 BV412
Mennonite
 BV412.A1
History
 BV413.M-.M
Mennonite - Methodist

Methodist
Just a suggestion here, since we nearly put a Lutheran hymnal with the Liberal Catholic Church.
Friends-Lutheran is indented until we get to Lutheran itself.  Is there a better way to express this in LCCS?
Same thing goes for Mennonite-Methodist.
